Havoc

Born August 10th 1973, he is approximately 6 foot ten inches (208 centimeters) tall, with naturally white hair done up in a small Mohawk, and deep cyan eyes, and long pointy elf-like ears, he has stubble on his chin. He has many piercings, including a tongue stud, a single snake bite on his lower lip, five piercings on his left ear, a bar over his left eyebrow and a dumbbell on his right, dumbbells on both nipples, his belly button, and a Jacobs ladder with three rungs on the underside of his penis. Generally described as looking like a football player, Havoc is well built, with a slim waistline and broad-looking, muscular shoulders. His usual attire consists of a bartenders outfit, a relic leftover from when he tended bar in Seattle, a white dress shirt with its sleeves rolled up to his elbows, a black high quality silken vest with the bottom two buttons left unbuttoned, black dress pants, and a black bracelet with sharp silver spikes (reminiscent of a choker or dog collar). He usually has a red monogramed silk handkerchief in his right vest pocket.

Havoc was born to a moderately successful family in Alta, California, living out in the rural regions of the state the communist government tended to overlook. His childhood, like most those under a communist dictatorship, was hard, as the country's economy failed, the communist regime allowed minor aspects of the free market to return. His mother and father ran a small family owned general store, and much of Havoc’s youth was spent either in school, or working in his parent’s shop. He learned to cook by helping his mother around the kitchen, his father, a doctor, taught him everything he knows about medicine, both western and Eastern, and sparked his curiosity in the supernatural, however his family wasn't rich enough to send him to a medical school, although he did help his father as a back alley doctor to those who couldn't afford government treatment for whatever reason.

After graduating high school, he made ends meet and helped support his family by doing odd part time jobs around town, eventually coming to bartend. Havoc saved up his meager earnings until he had enough to travel to Seattle, the almost mythical city of promise in the Republic of Columbia, the land of freedom and opportunity to the North. With help from his parents, he finally managed to move to the city of his dreams, where he earned an official bartender’s license and began making a living in his new home. Havoc met Raven, a German immigrant and leather punk, while bartending in Seattle, they became great friends and casual lovers, eventually growing quite close. Although it was never an actual full-blown love affair, they were never actually a couple, their immediate overwhelming sexual attraction has tempered itself greatly over the years, while simultaneously transitioning from a mostly cranial affair into a more stable healthy relationship based on mutual understanding and companionship.

Havoc is an expertly skilled chef, a licensed bartender, and adept medic and psychologist and has dabbled successfully as a lawyer. Havoc is middle eastern, with fairly sharp angular features and dark brown skin, his mixed bloodline obscures any attempt to determine his ethnicity. Havoc is from the California Republic, managing to flee in the 90s to Columbia, only for Columbia to fracture in 2002. Havoc was the researcher charged with caring for Bear, and he came to look on the odd beings as a child, with no real loyalty to Nebula beyond them helping him continuing to practice medicine, he chose to obfuscate Bear’s actual abilities, describing them as a refined shield and cutting surface, and his healing ability as simple psychic stimulation of a natural healing ability, rather that what he truly suspected it to be, the ability to reject events in space, knowing Nebula would do terrible things to him if they got a true inkling to what his power really was.

Havoc is a calm and gentle giant, he loves Bear unconditionally and cares deeply for his loved ones and friends. He is kind and strong, friendly and genuine. He will usually try to help those he cares about and is not one to bear deep-seated grudges. He is an easy-going optimist, though he can be a bit immature at times, he always takes full responsibility for his actions. Havoc tries to give the best advice he can, often simple and pragmatic, based on his own experiences, even if he does not necessarily know about the situation. Havoc is a sensitive person, and does his best to be a responsible leader, a dad trying to keep Bear safe and happy. Havoc takes great pride in his cooking skills and bartending abilities.

Havoc was so excited when he got the tesseract, his own piece of the ruins, a real, genuine supernatural artifact of his own to study. As a hobby he worked for Nebula as a parascientist and underground doctor. He opened up the tesseract and dissected it, viewing it as a huge anatomical model of an embryo, eventually he removed the core for study and came to the conclusion that he could reawaken it with a sample of human DNA. He used a sample from one of his nebula colleges, and was surprised when it regenerated into the form of an almost human baby. He adopted the child and was relieved when Nebula rejected him for testing because they felt he would yield very few new discoveries, in reality not wanting to expend the effort to control and suppress and angel without the promise of new phenomenon to study. 

Bear subsequently lived with Havoc, in between occasional follow up tests, he was potty trained, Havoc also taught him shapes and colors, essentially home schooling him until he was able to search out knowledge on his own. Understandably, Bear wasn’t really allowed to leave the apartment, while Havoc would take him to the zoo and aquarium, or the park, Havoc bought him pets, a hamster, then two gerbils, then two rats, as companions. At this time, Havoc owned a live in Bakery in Renton, homeschooling and cooking all day and sharing a bed with Bear at night in their one room apartment. In spring 2008, Bear was poofed for the first time, and regenerated in front of Havoc in a much older, nearly 15 years old body, despite only having been 8 moments earlier. Havoc, reluctant to allow Bear out into the wider world, decided to let him go to high school if he was able to pass a Middle School Final exam, and Havoc used his connections to Nebula to fake his paperwork.

In 2008, Bear passed his Middle School Final exam, so he was able to begin high school later in the year, with Nebula taking interest in the social experiment but otherwise having decided there was nothing more that could be learned from him. From there Havoc tried to give him a normal life as a family, introducing him to uncle Raven and putting him through school. In 2013, after Bear failed to graduate, Nebula lost all interest, and he and Havoc decided to move to a house with a storefront below in Black Diamond, to start over anew, with Bear working as his cashier while he baked. In May Havoc helped Bear adopt a male tuxedo cat.

He was so very happy Bear had found a boyfriend like a normal human but felt it was a bit soon to move in together, though he didn’t stop Bear despite his objections. Through Nebula he was aware of Egor and therefore the Skullz. He and ‘uncle’ Raven are occasional lovers, with Raven taking a liking to Bear and bringing him gifts from around the world, though he is kind of a pervy uncle, agreeing with Mitsuo that Bear grew up stacked.
